TNOs and Centaurs with Satellites

The table below lists all the currently know objects with satellites in the
Kuiper belt or the Centaur region and some of the known parameters. A
reference list of papers regarding satellites
(specific objects, formation theories, etc.) follows the table.

Note: the text ``(unconfirmed)'' under an
object's name implies that the object is suspected to have a satellite, i.e., it
was seen to be elongated but seprate co-moving components have not yet
been resolved.

The object names are links to the ephemerides provided by the CBAT list of observable
distant minor planets, so objects currently not observable will not
have viable links to ephemerides.

Current Tally: 39 satellites around 35 main bodies (~2.6% of known objects)
